My friend, the teacher said I could have all my props back for $100 - the price he had paid me years before. Late one night I bought back every item, and brought everything home where it belonged - from dirty left-over rope to tarnished Mysto Palming coins. I repaired the broken P&L table. I polished my Linking Rings. I looked at the bent Merv Taylor Tambour and my tattered feather bouquet. Now I could put it all to work again for the pleasure of others - and for myself.

The magician presents a number of solid silver rings, each about a foot in diameter. The rings are shown to have no breaks in them. Nevertheless, the magician is able to link the rings to each other at will and unlink them once again with a mere thought.

A quality set of eight linking rings can be obtained from a supplier of magic props. Most consider 8-inch-diameter (200 mm) rings to be the smallest size suited for stage performance, while 12-inch (300 mm) rings are common; 15-inch (380 mm) rings are also available, but rarely seen in use. Larger sizes are often constructed from stainless steel tubing for the best combination of durability and weight.

The P.T.A. in Red Bank once sponsored John Mulholland. It was not a visual memory, but rather like going to school and watching a demonstration. His manner was professorial, and I remember seeing him bring The Linking Rings out of his briefcase. A man named Kara-Kum played a local school. The show started late. People whistled and stomped their feet. Many tricks went wrong. Assistants appeared before they should.

After graduating from college, I went on to seminary and was ordained in 1957 to the Episcopal priesthood. Following ordination, I took up my duties in a small church in Florence, New Jersey. In 1960, I became the Rector of Christ Episcopal Church in Woodbury, New Jersey. When that happened, I did a strange thing. I sold my Linking Rings. I also sold all my magic books, magazines, equipment, collection, and even the remains of my Mysto Magic Set. However, I retained my subscriptions to magic magazines and my initial 1949 membership in the International Brotherhood of Magicians. Since I was planning to travel abroad, I wanted a new type of camera. I needed money, and my salary scale was a low $3,000 annually. At that time I did not want to mix magic with my ministry, and besides I never performed Gospel magic. I wanted my people to respond to Rauscher the clergyman, not Rauscher the magician.
